Coming Home to Penvennan Cove by Linn B. Halton

4.0

Kerra has decided that after living in London and having a successful business she needs to go home. Home is her Grandmothers tiny cottage in the village of Penvennan Cove, she is mourning her mum and her dad is struggling with their business although he will not admit it.

Her best friend Tegan is pleased that she is back as she is bringing up her small children after the loss of her husband Pete and running her own business and it’s difficult for her.

Moving back to the village she grew up in gives her many reminders of her childhood, some good, some not so.

She feels claustrophobic in the cottage and wants more but can she persuade her neighbour Drew to sell his cottage or is there another way. Drew has a plan that will be beneficial for them both but will Kerra be able to settle in her Cornish home?

On the day the renovations are to begin Drew has to leave suddenly and leaves Kerra in charge of the builders and she is nervous about meeting up with someone from her past.

I enjoyed this read, I love a book set in Cornwall and Penvennan Cove felt cosy. Kerra is a successful business woman and know her own mind, she finds living back in a small village a challenge to begin with after living in London. The characters were warm and friendly and I loved the addition of Ripley the cat !

A great read to be enjoyed on a wet afternoon to remind us of warmer day to come.
